The problem is solved !
The reason was that shared memory on host have been allocated using
__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, get_order(NumberOfBytes))
it returned addresses like 0x8xxxxxxx (KSEG0, cacheable)
I was adviced to use pci_alloc_consistent() instead , this function uses
__get_free_pages
but sets some GFP flags and returns addresses like 0xAxxxxxxx (KSEG1).
With this function all works fine !
